OK, OK!

This one won't come as any surprise, since ye've seen photos of it already. I am confused

But I'm still pretty darned stoked about this one. Blushing

Sure, it's got some wabi. But, to me, this just means "more character". Wink

Gives it that comfortable, lived-in look that is the hallmark of a True Veteran. Thumbs up!

Alas, if I wear it on the bracelet for too long, this is the result:

What to do, what to do? I am confused

Well, remove the offending bracelet, for starters:

And whilst doing so, I noted one feature that made me rethink the 2-tone case. Sure, Dear Constant Reader, you wil recall that I contemplated swappin' cases. But after test-driving Bro. Dan's creation, I got to admit that the ITC case, including the 2-tone treatment, works darned good. Clapping!

And ye'll note that the ITC is full stainless, where the

case is plated base metal. Going from full-SS to base metal seems like a step backwards to me Crazy! Loco!

so, at least for now, it will stay as-is.

OK, I need a strap. When In Doubt Go Nylon, I say. Accordingly..

So that one's stainless? Never noticed.	DJM	99	May 21, 2010 09:11PM
Yup, per the "STAINLESS STEEL CASE & BACK" verbiage.	Ricky Lee	92	May 21, 2010 09:29PM
Here's a thought, if you really want the all silver look, could you switch the bezel and crown with the Arm? (n/t)	DJM	81	May 21, 2010 09:33PM
I considered that. Indeed, that was my original thought in last week's post, ye'll recall. But..	Ricky Lee	104	May 21, 2010 09:55PM
